Car Forum / Lexus Cars / December 2005ECT Snow Button, RX300
The owners manual and a Google search is vague concerning the function of this on/off button. What exactly does it do? Does it change the point at which the transmission shifts to the next gear? > The owners manual and a Google search is vague concerning the function of > this on/off button. What exactly does it do?

The correct answer is that when you switch to "snow," the transmission will start off in second gear instead of first gear. This action will allow the car to move will less torque which will help to keep a good grip in the snow so you wont spin your tires.

The power setting on the ECT button delays shift points and makes downshifts more readily.

Sorry Ray O, that's all wrong! It starts the tranny in second gear. >>> I'm guessing this is a different function from the ECT Power button in >>> my '93 ES300? >> >> The power setting on the ECT button delays shift points and makes >> downshifts more readily. > Sorry Ray O, that's all wrong! It starts the tranny in second gear. Look at the question I was responding to. My response is not all wrong. The power setting on the ECT button does delay shift points. Placing the ECT in power mode will not start the transmission in second gear. The snow mode starts the transmission in second gear.

I read the message too fast. >>>>> I'm guessing this is a different function from the ECT Power button in >>>>> my '93 ES300? [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Sorry Ray O, you are correct. I read the message too fast. No problem, I've done it many times myself! SignatureRay O correct the return address punctuation to reply |
